"Keep it."
Xu Ma was not good at speaking and could not think of anything to say. Seeing that her son liked Rong Jiu, she also liked him because of his affection for her.
She knew that her son had the right intentions. Some things were external to them and could not be brought into this world or taken away from this world.
Rather than keeping it around and watching it lying there helplessly, it is better to pass it down from generation to generation.
Rong Jiu refused to accept it. "It's too valuable, Mom. You should keep it with you."
"You already called me mom, why don't you accept it?"
Xu Ma was so anxious that she was losing her words. Forced to do so, she looked at Xu Jing, who was watching the fun from the side. She hit him in frustration. "Go ahead."
"Ouch, Mom, be gentle. Give the things to me and I'll take them to Jiujiu, okay?"
Xu Ma breathed a sigh of relief and stuffed the box into Xu Jing's arms. "Take good care of her. I'll go help your dad pick some vegetables first."
"Okay, slow down, no rush."
After Xu Ma went to the kitchen, he and Rong Jiu were left alone in the living room.
"Ajing, I don't want it." Rong Jiu knew that this thing given by Xu Ma was a gift for meeting the bride, and he should accept it.
But according to the Xu family's conditions, this thing can really be used in a critical moment. He shouldn't take something like a family heirloom away.
Xu Jing looked at him for a few seconds, touched his neck, and said, "The black jade pendant I gave you is gone, but God has given me a chance to make amends. Some things are really destined."
Seeing that he looked dazed, Xu Jing took out the jade pendant from the box and hung it around his neck.
He grabbed Rong Jiu's hand and covered the jade pendant.
"You asked me to compensate you with a black jade pendant before. I can't do that, but I can give you a piece of heirloom that belongs to our Xu family. You didn't accept it, but you are still blaming me, right?"
"No." Rong Jiu shook his head with tears in his eyes. "After calming down and thinking about it, this is not your fault."
Xiao Ji is a calamity for both of them. If they can't get over it, there will always be someone else besides Xiao Ji.
It was his own fault for not keeping it well, so he can't blame anyone else.
"From now on, keep it well. Don't take it off even when you take a shower. If..."
Xu Jing's eyes also became moist, and he choked up and said, "If you miss me, and I haven't replied to your message, just touch it. It means I'm with you."
"Yeah." Rong Jiu didn't care whether Xu's father and mother were watching or not. He put his arms around Xu Jing's shoulders and hugged him tightly.
"Don't be sad. Since I agreed to be your daughter-in-law, it's a promise. I will be the daughter-in-law of your Xu family until I die."
Rong Jiu also figured it out. What separated them was never time, but their feelings.
As long as he still loves Xu Jing, let alone two years, even ten years cannot change the fact that he loves him.
"Take good care of it and don't let it break again."
Whenever Xu Jing thought about how he had to go downstairs just for a jade pendant, he would still tremble with fear.
He deepened the hug and whispered in his ear, "Don't argue with your brother about anything. Be harmonious. If you can't handle it, talk to Ho Tung more. If it really doesn't work, call me. Don't try to hold on by yourself, okay?"
"You're so long-winded." Rong Jiu burst into laughter. She pulled a napkin from the table and clumsily wiped her tears, wiping his as well.
"Okay, I got it. I'll come see you as soon as I finish my family stuff. Keep your phone open at all times."
Xu Jing responded and released the hug.
The two of them leaned on the sofa, watching TV and chatting.
After talking it out, there was no grudge between them and everything was as if nothing had happened.
The family had a lively meal together. Rong Jiu was a little reserved at first, but with Xu Jing's encouragement, he quickly integrated into the family atmosphere.
It was also at the Xu family that Rong Jiu experienced the family love that he had never experienced before.
The down-to-earth atmosphere suits him very well, and he is confident that he can live in harmony with Xu Jing and his family and have a bright future together.
After dinner, Xu Jing took him out to help digest the food.
The two walked to a park in the city, and just as Xu Jing was about to speak, he received a call from Zhang Xiaotian.
"Come back tomorrow."
"knew."
He replied calmly, but it took him a long time to recover from the phone call.
"Jiujiu."
After Xu Jing hung up the phone, she suddenly turned around, hugged him, and cried on his shoulder.
Logically speaking, Rong Jiu should be the irrational one, as he has always been very rational.
He has never been swept away by love.
But for some reason, after having a meal, he felt like he had a companion who understood his well-being.
Before I could enjoy this warmth, I was hit hard by reality.
He knew that Rong Jiu was also reluctant to leave him.
But there is no way. If the real problems are not dealt with, they will still be two parallel lines that cannot intersect and can never come together.
Looking at Xu Jing with tears streaming down his face and out of control, Rong Ji couldn't control himself and tears fell in the wind.
"I."
He touched his face, wanting to remember his face forever in his heart.
But even so, it can only last for a moment, not forever.
"Don't cry anymore."
Xu Jing wiped his tears and took out a tissue to wipe Rong Jiu's tears.
The adult world is already full of helplessness, as they are no longer at the age where they can be willful.
Knowing that crying cannot change any facts, we can only place our hopes on tomorrow, so that love can transcend limited time and reach an eternal state.
"Go back. I'll stay with you for one night. From now on, you'll have to sleep alone."
Xu Jing feigned happiness and said, "No one is nagging me anymore, and no one is dragging me to exercise in the middle of the night. That's great."
"Hateful." Rong Jiu pinched his palm and laughed. "I don't even have to listen to you grinding your teeth in your sleep. Do you think you're a good person?"
"Oh? It's not a good thing. You're thinking about me like crazy. Are you a bitch?"
"Xu Jing, if you keep saying that, I'll get angry."
Rong Jiu's face turned serious and he said, "I added Mom on WeChat. If you treat me badly or have a mistress outside, I will tell Mom and let her deal with you."
"I wouldn't dare." Xu Jing raised his hands in surrender. "I will be honest and do my duty, and I will never mess around with other women."
"Hmph, I don't think you'd have the guts to do something behind my back."
Besides, he wouldn't know what was going on. Even if he complained to Xu Ma, she would still side with her son and would still try to trick him.
Xu Jing keenly caught the trace of sadness in his eyes. He raised the corner of his lips, smiled evilly and patted his butt.
"Honey, you're quite attractive. The number of people trying to hook up with you keeps increasing, which really puts a lot of pressure on me."
"Xu Jing, what are you doing?"
Rong Jiu was both embarrassed and annoyed, and raised his hand to slap.
Xu Jing was quick-witted and quickly stopped him.
"Don't be angry. Anger is bad for your health. Just lie down tonight and I'll take good care of you, okay?"
Rong Jiu snorted coldly, raising his chin slightly. "Since your apology is quite sincere, I'll reluctantly give you this opportunity."
